PM's Chagos Islands deal gets green light from Trump
The Independent
|April 02, 2025
Donald Trump has formally signed off Sir Keir Starmer’s deal to hand the Chagos islands over to Mauritius, No 10 has said.
The agreement is now being “finalised” between the UK and Mauritius.
The revelation comes after the US president strongly indicated that he would back the deal when he met with Sir Keir in the White House in February, despite early indications he was sceptical of the deal.
At the time Mr Trump said: “I have a feeling it is going to work out very well. I think we will be inclined to go along with your country.”
